Attorney Dan Newlin is committed to his clients and is always looking for new ways to help them out. Just recently, #Dan was created. Newlin is a person himself, so he knows the struggle most people has when trying to remember ten digit phone numbers. He wanted to make it easier for his clients to get in touch with his law firm when his services were needed, so he invented a new phone number, #Dan.

The surge of the tech industry has had a domino effect on various business industries throughout the country. One of the sectors that has experienced positive growth has been the residential and commercial real estate industry. In particular, the New York City market has witnessed a shift in residential appropriation as a result of the influx of tech companies and tech professionals. For example, Manhattan and its surrounding Burroughs are experiencing statistical trends, such as Long Island City experiencing a 40-percent increase of new renters and buyers that posses a college degree.

As reported in the Huffington Post, the New York City technology market is experiencing aggressive capital growth as a result of tech companies acquiring more commercial real estate. Consequently, average commercial financing has jumped from $6 million to $17 million; in addition, the technology sector has accounted for 19 percent of commercial leasing transactions within the past year. It is worth mentioning that specific geographical zones within the New York market have noticed a higher attraction by tech startups, which include Chelsea, Union Square and the Flatiron District.

As technology companies expand, the work environment is adapting to the cultural norms that are in high demand by tech companies. For example, technology companies find value in a collaborative work environment, such as open floor plans, commercial units with exposed brick, commercial units with floor to ceiling windows, rooftop spaces for recreational events and loft-style floor plans. New York landlords are responding to the call by renovating their commercial spaces and knocking down walls and beautifying concrete and steel exposures to create a more open and industrial look.

The migration of technology companies to New York City is also transforming the traditional identity of some districts. For example, the famed Garment District is witnessing a transition from a hub for fashion designers and clothing manufacturers to a main attraction for tech companies. The Garment District is appealing to tech companies because of its proximity to public transportation and because of the pricing options that are available in the area. Another district that is witnessing a transformation, is the Flatiron District, which has resulted in the district receiving the nick name of Silicon Alley.

As New York experiences an influx of tech companies and a population increase of college-educated tech professionals, real estate agencies are doing a tremendous job of working with transplants and college grads to discover the best real estate options that compliment their lifestyle. Real estate agencies like Town Residential, which is headquartered in Manhattan is capitalizing on its strong history of high standards, excellent customer service and proven experience for placing renters and buyers in luxurious homes and apartments, throughout the city and in the surrounding Burroughs.

In addition to helping tech professionals find the hottest areas in New York City to live in, Town Residential also assists tech companies with finding NYC luxury real estate properties that fit its visual and functional needs. These type of properties can include industrial-style commercial units, modern tech-fitted commercial units or commercial units that have a perfect blend of traditional architecture mixed with contemporary style and functional resources. Whatever the needs of its clients may be, whether it’s proximity to public transportation, shopping or walking access to restaurants; Town Residential is leading the charge among New York City real estate brokers for matching tech companies with commercial properties that best fit its demands, culture and style.

There are many vitamins that a dog needs to stay healthy. The best way to ensure that your dog gets the right vitamins is to feed a great quality dog food. Just like a person who is constantly eating junk food, the dog who constantly eats table scraps will not receive a balanced diet. Just like most people think junk food tastes great, however, most dogs think table scraps taste great. There are four fat-soluble vitamins that are especially important. The first of these is Vitamin A. If a dog does not get enough Vitamin A, then its vision can really suffer, along with the dog having poor-quality skin and the hair not looking shiny and bright. The problem can be even more severe in pups where the puppy can develop skeletal and nervous disorders. Furthermore, the pup will grow at a slower rate. If you are thinking about breeding the dogs, then a lack of Vitamin A causes males to go sterile and females to not ovulate properly. The second fat-soluble vitamin that a dog needs is Vitamin D. While humans effectively convert sunlight into Vitamin D, the dog’s system does not convert this vitamin nearly as easily. This nutrient is necessary to control the phosphorus and calcium levels in the bloodstream. For puppies, it is essential for puppies to get enough Vitamin D so that their bones grow properly, and the pup will not end up with rickets. The right amount of Vitamin D is also essential for muscle control and for nerves to work properly. Vitamin E is another fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for dogs. This vitamin is essential for proper cell formation in the heart, liver, nerves, and testes. It also helps the dog maintain proper hormone levels. Inadequate Vitamin E in the diet can lead to Brown Bowel Syndrome resulting in ulcerated bowls that frequently hemorrhage. The last fat-soluble vitamin that a dog must have in its diet is Vitamin K. This nutrient keeps the dog’s blood clotting properly so that it does not bleed to death. The best way to make sure your dog eats a balanced diet is to feed it Purina’s Beneful Dog Food. Carefully, tested in labs and at Purina’s Farms, this food is nutritionally balanced to ensure that the dog gets just the right amount of each of these fat-soluble vitamins. Dogs also love the taste of the food, so they willingly eat it up. Beneful is available as a wet or dry dog food and in numerous different varieties. It is also available as great tasting snacks that are perfect for rewarding the dog.

The ability to generate revolutionary ideas and an eye for hiring exceptional talent should also be something a good business leader possesses. A business leader who is clever, collaborative, confident and creative will no doubt thrive in any business venture he is she partakes. Over the years, the Chicagoan Markets have seen profit margins increase with the year 2014 being the best year so far. According to Silicon Valley Bank’s Annual Innovation Economy Outlook, growth in the Chicagoan market is likely to continue throughout the year 2015 to its end. With such tremendous success in business, we can say that Chicagoan business leaders are on top of their game and possess all the good traits a business leader should posses. Entrepreneurs, business executives and leaders from Chicago are eager to invest in the opportunities that present themselves in the market so that the growth does not stagnate. Chicagoan business leaders owe their tremendous success to the closely knit association they form with each other such that they are popularly known as the Chicagoan business and market leaders. Among them powerful leaders in the world such as Trina Dru Gordon who is the President and CEO of Boyden World Corporation and Peter McGuiness, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer at Chobani. Every business leader has their own unique way of running a business successfully. Chicagoan business leaders bring together these ideas in association, for instance, The Magnificent Mile Association making them a well-organized group of business leaders.

Ken Griffin knows how to make money. He surrounds himself with competent people and makes smart investment choices. Griffin’s company, Citadel LLC, is one of the most successful hedge fund management firms in the business. Investors say Griffin is the reason for the company’s success, but ken says the people in the organization are the true reason Citadel has more than $26 billion assets under management. The limited partners and the employees are the reason Griffin is planning to do an IPO in 2016. If that happens, no one is sure how big the company will get, but it is safe to say it could take the number one hedge fund investment slot in a very short time.

Most hedge funds are having a difficult time in 2015. The economic and financial turmoil around the globe have cut return percentages for most hedge funds, but Griffin’s Citadel is an exception. Citadel posted a 13 percent gain in the first half of 2015, and Griffin hired one of the most respected men in the finance world as a special advisor. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke decided to come out of a 14-month retirement and join Citadel. Bernanke has extraordinary insight when it comes to understanding the mechanics of the global economy, and his knowledge of capital markets and monetary policy is incredible, according to Griffin. Hiring Bernanke is another shrewd move by Griffin. Last year Griffin earned $1.1 billion without Bernanke’s help. There is no telling how much Griffin will earn this year and in 2016.

Bernanke’s salary has not been disclosed. He will not have a stake in the company, and will not earn performance bonuses, according to Griffin. Bernanke is not the first retired Fed chief to go to work on Wall Street as an advisor. Alan Greenspan, Paul Volcker, and Fed Governor Jeremy Stein have all taken advisor positions, and some of them even opened consulting offices.

Having an adviser like Bernanke on Griffin’s team will help the company reach its 2016 goals. Those goals are not a secret. Griffin wants Citadel to be the largest hedge fund company in the world, and he is not letting anything get in his way.

But there are challenges ahead for Griffin and for hedge fund managers in general. Economists are not sure what will happen after the 2016 presidential election, and no one is sure how the world will react if China doesn’t recover from its current economic debacle. Those issues along with several others will keep some hedge fund managers up at night, according to Griffin. But Ken knows how to play his investment cards. He has a diversified portfolio and with Bernanke’s help, he will continue to find assets that offer big returns.

Griffin knows that Bernanke will play an important role in finding new assets based on the current economic trend that is developing around the world. Men like Bernanke have a lot of global contacts that are willing to share information that hasn’t been released to the public. That’s an enormous advantage in the hedge fund business.

Jim Dondero is the co-founder of Highlands Capital, a Dallas, TX based investment bank and hedge fund. Dondero began his career after graduating with honors from the McIntire School of Commerce, a part of the University of Virginia where he earned degrees in finance and accounting. He has earned the certified public accountant (CPA), certified management accountant (CMA), and chartered financial analyst (CFA) distinctions.

His first job was as an analysis in Morgan Guaranty’s training program. From there he went to work for American Express, first as a corporate bond analyst and was promoted to the position of a portfolio manager.

After several successful years with American Express, Dondero left there to accept a position with Protective Life to assist with the build-out of their GIC subsidiary. Within four years, Dondero was responsible for the management of over two billion dollars worth of assets. Before leaving GIC, Dondero was named the chief investment officer for the company.

In 1993, Dondero partnered with his co-founder Mark Okada to form Highlands Capital Management. Capitalizing on his strength as an innovator and resourcefulness in providing his clients with creative solutions for acquiring the capital they need to grow, Highlands has grown to have over $23 billion in assets under management. The firm has also been named one of the best companies to work for in the Dallas area where it is headquartered. Other officers are located through the world in New York City, São Paulo, Singapore, and Seoul. In total the company has almost 200 employees.

Highlands’ client list includes institutional investors, real estate investment trust (REIT’s), and private equity funds. In addition to providing his clients with capital, the firm also offers a wide range of investments to its investing clients including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETF’s). Clients include companies in the healthcare, oil and gas, real estate, and emerging market sectors.

Dondero was the primary innovator of a capital credit solution known as the Collateralized Loan Obligation of CLO.

The advantage for the investors is mainly risk mitigation and a steady and predictable payout schedule. The company’s seeking capital can benefit by leveraging their individual strengths with other firms while reducing the rates they would have to pay on their own.

Most people by now should be pretty familiar with Wikipedia as both a source of information and as one of the most visited websites on the internet. Wikipedia is a massive encyclopedia that has been collaboratively put together by thousands of editors all across the planet to provides various Wikipedia services such as Get Your Wiki. With up to the minute information based around the latest breaking news, Wikipedia itself almost seems improbably to even exist and function as well as it does. The power, really, is in the ability of so many editors to contribute without being asked. Now we have new editors showing up every day and most of them aren’t aware of some basic tenants of editing. Let’s take a peak at when editors SHOULD make an edit and when they should leave them be.

Minimal Edits & Quick Fixes By far, the most common edit that most Wikipedia workers will come upon is the minimal edit. This type of edit is typically a quick fix to grammar, punctuation, or spelling. These edits can be knocked out in a minute and get pushed through to ‘live’ just as quick. When making small edits make sure to tick the appropriate box and explain what small edit was made. This helps keep all workers on the same page as well as stopping minimal edits from being overturned for no reason.

Avoiding Personal Edits: Get Your Wiki When it comes time to edit a page that could be considered personal, such as a family friend or an article that the editor feels passionately about, it is better to hold off. The Wikipedia Manual of Style insists that editors maintain a neutral point of view in all of their work. Biased writing will quickly make that rule null. Another option for editors who want to create a personal page is to opt for a service like Get Your Wiki. Get Your Wiki is a Wikipedia editing service that adheres to all Wikipedia rules and regulations. Editors can hire the company to install a professional page that will stay online and not vandalized.

Full Article Edits One of the rarest sorts of edits out there is one that dramatically alters a page. There is a reason most pages only incur minor edits: because they’ve been honed over time. So when an editor thinks about dramatically changing up a page they should instead think about making small changes instead. Full edits are rare and often over turned.
